It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few 36 . On their faces was confidence. This was their 37 exam—then onto graduation and jobs.

“How many answered four?” Still no hand.
“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly（不安宁的）in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 48 .”But the class remained silent.

These questions you could not 52 are relatively common in everyday practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all 53 this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just 54 .”

Learning experience happens to us throughout our lives. Not long ago I had one that I would like to 36 .
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph 37 we realized we were 38 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new (崭新) $ 20 bill. I was so 39 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 40 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 41 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I 42 I had not actually handed any money to the cashier (收银员). I had just 43 out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience(良心) opened its mouth and swallowed(吞噬) me in one big bite. I couldn't 44 over it. I just couldn't go back to the cashier and 45 for my stolen pizza.

For the next two years, whenever I was 50 of the “Pizza incident”, I would say to myself “Don't think bout it ”.

This reflects the saying “A coward (儒夫) dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a “55” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.
